CULINARY DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 15, 1909.

Patented July 20, 1909.

Serial No. 478,097.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUISE NELSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, haveinvented a certain new and useful Cult nary Device, of which thefollowing is a specification.

lrly invention relates to culinary devices, and more particularly to adevice especially adapted for use in the making of bread, cake, orcandy, and has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive devicedesigned to do this work in the most expeditious manner.

A further object of my invention is to pro vide a series of rotarymixing blades suitably arranged in a glass jar, and means for rotatingsaid blades, and a further object is to provide a second series ofrotary mixing blades arranged alternately with the first series ofblades and adapted to revolve in the opposite direction on the sameaxis. And a further object is to so design the mixing blades that theingredients of the mixture will become thoroughly intermingled to form ahomogeneous mass.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

With these Objects in view my invention consists in such a novelconstruction and arrangement of parts all as will be hereinafter fullydescribed and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

My invention will be more readily understood by reference to theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and inwhich,

Figure 1 is a central vertical section, Fig. 2 is a top elevation, andFig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 00 0a of Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawings 1 indicates a glass jar, and 2 a spider orframe detachably connected thereto by means of clamping band 3surrounding the jar. Rectangular plates 1 are secured to the frame 2 andriveted to the band 3, this being the preferred construction, but it isclear that the band 3 may be formed integral with the frame 2. The endsof the band 3 are perforated and bent parallel to each other, and a bolt6 and thumb-nut 7 are provided to secure said ends.

The frame 2 comprises four radially extending arms 8, a U-shaped portion9, and vertically extending lugs 10 in which the driving shaft 11 isjournaled. A crank 12 and a handle 13 are provided, said crank beingsecured to the driving shaft 11 by means of the set-screw 1 1. Inclosedwithin the U-shaped portion 9 is a driving bevelgear 15 which issecurely pinned to the driving shaft 11, said gear meshing with thebevel pinions 16 and 17. Said pinions are arranged diametricallyopposite on the gear 15, the pinion 16 being vertically over the pinion17 and pinned to the vertical shaft 18 which is journaled in the sleeve19 provided in the frame 2.

The shaft 18 extends nearly to the bottom of the jar 1 and passesthrough the bottom portion 20 of the blade-carrying-frame 21, the blades22 being riveted to said shaft and the blades 23 to said frame. A collar24 is secured to the shaft 18 by means of the screw 25, and the pinion17 is loosely mounted on said shaft and rests on said co1- lar, theframe 21 being rigidly secured to said pinion. Thus it is seen that theblades 22 and 23 are adapted to revolve in Opposite directions about acommon axis and that the same will move at a high speed relative to eachother when the crank 12 is being turned comparatively slow. Aperipherally flanged circular sheet metal jar cover 26 is provided withcentral perforation 27, so that the same may fit loosely over the hub 28of the pinion 17, this provision being obviously to retain all of theliquid or other matter which is being mixed in the jar.

In order to prevent the lodgment of matter around the sides and bottomof the jar, the frame 21 is shaped to conform approximately to the same,as shown. The blades 22 and 23 are arranged alternately and are adaptedto move in horizontal planes, each blade being compound curved in form.

While I have shown what I deem to be the preferable form of myinvention, I do not wish to be limited thereto, as there might be slightchanges made in the details of con struction and arrangements of oartswithout departing from the spirit 0 my invention.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Let ters Patent is:

In a device of the class described, a jar and a metallic frame mountedthereon comprising four radial arms and a U-shaped portion within whicha driving beveled gear is arranged, said gear secured to the inner endof a shaft journaled in lugs provided in said frame, means for revolvingsaid shaft,

sides connected to said loosely mounted pinion, a jar cover having acentral perforatlon and a peripheral flange disposed adjacent said lastnamed pinion, and two series of compound curved mixing blades securedrespectively to sald vertical shaft 15 and said last named frame,substantially as and for the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.
